High temperature expansion for dynamical correlation functions in the infinite-U Hubbard Model (1310.3797v1)

Abstract: We develop a diagrammatic approach for calculating the high temperature expansion of dynamic correlation functions, such as the electron Green's function and the time-dependent density-density and spin-spin correlation functions, for the infinite-U Hubbard Model with any number of spin species. The formalism relies on the use of restricted lattice sums, in which distinct vertices of the diagram represent distinct sites on the lattice. We derive a new formula for the restricted lattice sum of a disconnected diagram consisting of several connected components, and use it to prove the linked cluster theorem with respect to "generalized connected diagrams", formed by overlapping the original connected components on the lattice. This enables us to express all quantities as a sum over these generalized connected diagrams. We compute the Green's function to 4th order in \beta t for the case of m spin species on a d-dimensional hypercube by hand. We take the m\to\infty limit, enabling us to obtain expressions for the Dyson-Mori self-energy to 4th order in \beta t for the case of an infinite number of spin species. This may have connections to slave boson techniques used for the study of this model. Our approach is computationally more efficient than any used previously for the calculation of the high temperature expansion of dynamic correlation functions, and high order results for both the Green's function and the time-dependent density-density and spin-spin correlation functions shall be presented in a separate paper [25].
